The Full Story
A plain summary built from the channels that reported this story.
The 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow continued with a busy day of action, featuring swimming, gymnastics, and netball. In the pool, all eyes were on one of the Games' biggest stars, Adam Peaty, now known as Adam Ramsey Peaty after his marriage last year. He aimed to add another gold medal to his collection in the 100m breaststroke, having looked in good form during his semi-final. However, he faced tough opposition, including 18-year-old Philip Navaki, who was hoping to become Jersey's first Commonwealth champion in 28 years. In gymnastics, the women's team final took place, following a men's final overshadowed by a serious fall for England's Gabriel Langton. Langton was taken to hospital, but officials reported he was moving and speaking to doctors. The netball competition also began at the Hydro, with England defeating Northern Ireland 83-34 in their opening match. England, one of the favourites for the title, made an emphatic start to their campaign.
